    Maybe with 14 but man the last 23 year old who made an all-star team was drafted in the mid 80s.

  2. BunkHammer

    This is a bit unexpected. Would be down for 14 but I don’t think he makes it that far. Wouldn’t be into it at 7.

    Likely doing due diligence and taking a look at multiple players with knect being the first of multiple wings (I hope)

  4. This has been my guy I want at 7 since we got our spot. Makes sense they are focusing attention on him. Sadly, well not sad to a lot of yall on this sub, seems like he is getting a lot more mocks of him going 5 or 6.

    Once again, trajectory arcs are not one size fits all and he grew 5 inches in college. One of the few players in this class who has shown to be a guy who can be off-ball and run off screens for a catch and shoot. Currently the best three level scorer in this draft, but likely won’t be that in the NBA. A really good transition player with above average athleticism and solid size to play the wing. Would be a great player for Sharpe and Scoot to play off of on offense and help spread the defense. One of the few players to show they can create their own shot, this isn’t Duncan Robinson who many compare him too who don’t actually watch him.

    Weakness is obviously defense. Showed mental lapses and not good defense in general, one would hope there is promise there with his length and athleticism and not carrying the biggest offensive load in basketball like he did last year at UT.

    I know this sub doesn’t like him because he’s 23, but this guy can be a rotation player on a playoff caliber team for a long time. I want talent, and this guy has it.

    Love the scoring ability

    Hate the 6’5 hight and defense

    Personally I wouldn’t not like this pick at 7

  6. This is just the first of many solo workouts.. relax

  7. IAMHAOLE503

    Yea I wouldn’t mind, I’ve heard so many arguments about selecting someone with more “upside”. He has a NBA skill! Banking on upside for defense and playmaking sounds like a dependable bet.

  8. We will likely work out every single player in the Top 10. Nothing out of the ordinary.
